-This command doesn't do a lot. It only makes the vehicle you are in appear to have fired a rocket. No rockets are actually fired, no sound is made, nothing explodes. The only thing that happens is one little puff of smoke blows out of the back of your vehicle. [[BIS_Effects_RocketTrail]] is spawned at the end of the script, but it is commented out. I can only guess what it does since that command cannot be found here on the wiki, nor in the function viewer.<br><br>
+This function only makes a puff of smoke come out the back of the vehicle used as input
-Looking in the function viewer reveals that only the first and last elements from the input array actually do anything, and there are no [[BIS_fnc_param]] calls to catch bad input, to me this indicates a WIP command. The command takes 5 parameters. Only the first and last are important, though. The second line in the script is:
-<code>_sh = [[nearestObject]] [_this select 0, _this select 4];</code>
-So you can figure out acceptable parameters on your own.<br><br>
-As I stated above, the other 3 parameters are currently not used anywhere in the script. They can even be [[nil]].<br>
-Here is an example of use:<br>
-<code>[getPos player, nil, nil, nil, typeOf player] call BIS_fnc_effectFiredRocket;</code>
